Starting from Pine Swam Brook Lean-to
Hiked 19.8 miles
It was a full night at the shelter with Navigator, Turtle, 96, Dubs, Jolly Rancher, his girl friend and Harley. Apparently everyone settled in for the night and as the temperatures dropped Harley decided that it would be warmest if he found a spot between Turtle and Jolly Rancher’s girl friend. Things were quite comfortable for everyone until Harley decided that he needed to stretch so he rolled over and put his front paws on Turtle’s shoulder blades and the back paws on Turtle’s backside. With one big stretch Turtle was pushed toward Navigator who was a little offended at first . . . OK, let’s not go there! Since the sleeping arrangements at the shelter were so tight, this little event created a chain reaction.
Today’s hike . . . Navigator said that the climbs today were fewer and seemed to be more gradual. He said that his feet were sore from breaking in the boots. The good news was that his knee seemed to be doing better. As expected his back was sore because of the long day.
Turtle was tired and hiking slow by the end of the day. He asked that Navigator speed up to get to the shelter to start the nightly routine so they could relax a bit before falling asleep.
Total miles hiked 213.3
